A new year, with new beginnings

Making Peace with Yourself workshop, Jan 11, 2017

Join me on Wednesday January 11th (6:45-8 pm) for this intimate evening of ritual, community, beauty and wisdom.  Challenges are inevitable both on and off the yoga mat; let’s explore how we can navigate the ups-and-downs with resolve and equanimity.  Space is limited to 15; please visit Yoga Public to register.

MindFULLness Workshop 2: DIY Kitchen Staples!

Thank you to those that came to the first instalment of our “Putting the FULL in Mindfulness” Workshop series!  I still can’t believe that we sold out; I’m so glad that everyone is excited about exploring how eating well can support living well!

If you didn’t get the chance to make it to the first one, don’t miss out on the second workshop, “DIY Kitchen Staples” on Saturday November 26th (3:30-5 pm, $35, at Yoga Public).  Angie Pringle and I will continue to explore the empowerment of healthy eating and living.  Taking an in-depth look at our pantry staples, we will investigate the benefits/drawbacks of store-bought food products and how easily you can make your own versions of these with simple and wholesome recipes.  Attendance at a previous workshop is not necessary, though those of you that have come to the first workshop will hopefully find that the second one will deepen your understanding of Ayurveda and mindfulness through food.  Hope to see you at one or all of the workshops!

Kirtan practice at home

A glimpse into how we practise Kirtan at home!  We are working on new melodies for traditional chants, and this is the latest.  We hope to see you at our next Kirtan at Yoga Public this Friday, November 4th (7-8:30 pm, $15)!

MindFULLness

Putting the Full in Mindfulness

Plan ahead for the fall!  Angie Pringle and I are co-leading a workshop series at Yoga Public (280 Fort St, Winnipeg) exploring how food and healthy movement can improve how we feel and set us up for chasing those bigger life goals.  Angie has a BA in Kinesiology, and is a Wellness Consultant, certified Personal Trainer, Function Movement Screen Specialist, and Precision Nutrition Coach.  Combined with my Masters in Food Science, certification as an Ayurvedic Lifestyle Counsellor, and yoga teaching experience, you will get both breadth and depth from our discussion on food habits and holistic wellness.

Our first workshop, Working with Cravings, will be on Saturday, October 29th (3:30-5 pm, $35).  While coming to all the workshops will be more immersive and allow for deeper integration of the principles we will discuss, you will find great benefit in checking out even just one!  November will be DIY Kitchen Staples (a look into processed foods and how we can easily make our own healthier versions) and January will be Plant Proteins and You (a discussion of non-meat protein options, including a visit from a local farmer).  Stay tuned for more!
